II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste.'' The 
NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct 
or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on May 10, 2017 (82 FR 21834).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 61--
Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0135.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Applications 
for licenses are submitted as needed. Other reports are submitted 
annually and as other events require.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and 
holders of an NRC license (to include Agreement State licensees) for 
land disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 16 (12 reporting 
responses + 4 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 5,372 
hours (56 hours reporting + 5,316 hours recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: Part 61 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), establishes the procedures, criteria, and license 
terms and conditions for the land disposal of low-level radioactive 
waste. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are mandatory and, 
in the case of application submittals, are required to obtain a 
benefit. The information collected in the applications, reports, and 
records is evaluated by the NRC to ensure that the licensee's or 
applicant's disposal facility, equipment, organization, training, 
experience, procedures, and plans provide an adequate level of 
protection of public health and safety, common defense and security, 
and the environment.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of August, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
